Valve being bought by Google! That is a horrible thought, but there are number of web sites which are reporting this. Here are a few links:
- http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/09/17/google-valve
- http://techcrunch.com/2008/09/17/google-to-acquire-valve/
I decided to send Valve a quick email, and I think that everyone that is agains this happenign should do as well.
Good morning,
TechCrunch and TheInquirer are reporting a potential acquisition of Valve by Google.
Please say it isn’t so. I’ve been a fan of you company and games since you guys first started. I have been following your company and enjoyed your products all these years. An acquisition by google might seem like a financially good choice but technology and product wise it is not.
Valve has managed to remain financially independent and overcome a variety of obstacles all this years. Please do NOT give into the google idea. Be yourselves. Visiting Valve headquarters and working for Valve is a dream for many people. Don’t destroy your fan base.
Sincerely,
Alexandar Tzanov
